The Washington Post - Chutkan rejects Trump request to step aside as judge in his D.C. trial
27 Sep 23
U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan on Wednesday denied Donald Trump’s demand that she recuse herself from his federal election obstruction case ... *
Trump’s defense can ask an appellate court to weigh in, but the standard for a federal appeals court or the U.S. Supreme Court to review the ruling is very high, requiring “clear and indisputable” proof a judge has failed her duty ...
Trump is scheduled for a March 4 trial on charges of illegally plotting to undermine the federal government, subvert the legitimate results of the 2020 election and deprive citizens of the right to have their votes counted.
* Chutkan gets to make the decision whether she’s recused - nobody else.
Seeking to disqualify a judge is a challenging and precarious move - one that, if it fails (as it usually does), runs the risk of antagonizing the person granted the power to judge the case.

BBC News - Fact-checking Donald Trump's claim that wind turbines kill whales
yesterday
Former US President Donald Trump has claimed that wind turbines off the coast of the US "are causing whales to die in numbers never seen before".
These claims have attracted significant attention on social media, where a clip of Mr Trump's speech has now been viewed more than nine million times.
But Mr Trump's claims are not backed up by evidence.
Cognitively impaired?

The Washington Post - Opinion - A judge calls out Trump’s business lies
27 Sep 23
If you take away the heaping mountain of BS on which Donald Trump built his business empire, what would remain? The former president and his children are about to find out.
In a devastating ruling issued on Tuesday, a New York judge [New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur F. Engoron] asserted the proposition that business fraud is illegal in the Empire State, documented that lying is standard operating procedure at Trump enterprises, stripped Trump’s tangle of corporations of its licenses to do business, and took steps to appoint a receiver to oversee the dismantling of nearly the whole thing: the towers, the mansions, the golf courses, the clubhouses. ...
Interestingly, Trump’s attorneys don’t make much of an effort to defend the fraudulent valuations. Instead, they have argued that banks and insurance companies know better than to believe anything Trump says. Anyone doing business with such a notorious liar had to be in on the joke, as it were. No harm done.
The judge was having none of it. Engoron gave New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) the go-ahead to pull the business licenses of a catalogue of Trump companies, and set about selecting independent receivers to “manage the dissolution of the former LLCs.”
The wreckage of the Trump companies appears to be headed for a fire sale, with proceeds going toward the possible $250 million penalty James is seeking.
